Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of nanomaterial technology and new energy, and specifically relates to a one-dimensional vanadium-based nanoscroll and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] One-dimensional nanoscrolls, a highly attractive class of nanomaterials, have attracted widespread attention in fields such as hydrogen storage, sensing, catalysis, and energy storage. Nanomaterials with one-dimensional scroll structures can be obtained by folding or rolling two-dimensional ultrathin materials in a spiral shape with the help of external stimuli. Compared to nanotubes, nanoscrolls have open ends, open edges, and adjustable interlayer spacing, which endow them with unique physical and chemical properties.
[0003] Common high-quality nanoscroll structures are usually graphene or boron nitride materials. Due to the limitations of mechanical strength and chemical stability, there are few reports on nanoscroll structures assembled from two-dimensional oxides / sulfides / selenides / carbides, etc. The commonly used preparation method is to curl the planar two-dimensional oxide / sulfide nanosheets grown by CVD driven by organic solvent volatilization into a scroll-like structure.
[0004] However, the nanoscrolls prepared by this method are of high quality but are expensive and have low yields, making it difficult to achieve large-scale application. MXene is a material that is derived from MAX phase etching and has a wide range of applications and great development potential. It has diverse elemental compositions, good conductivity, and abundant surface functional groups. More importantly, MXene has a two-dimensional layered structure similar to graphene, so it can achieve a variety of composition and morphological structure control. In addition, morphology control can avoid the self-stacking of two-dimensional MXene materials, greatly unleashing its structural application potential. For example, the hydrophilic groups and capillary tension of MXene surfaces are used to prepare tubular or spherical morphologies (Adv. Funct. Mater. 2020, 30(50), 2005663), and spherical MXene is prepared by template method (Adv. Mater. 2017, 29(37), 1702410). However, in the reported literature, there is little work on one-dimensional morphology control of MXene. Therefore, developing a low-cost, high-yield method for constructing one-dimensional scroll MXene structures to fully realize the application potential of MXene has high research value. Summary of the Invention

The preparation method uses vanadium-based MXene as a precursor and fully utilizes the two-dimensional structural characteristics, metastable characteristics and rich surface functional groups of MXene.
